Low-Floor Trams San Diego: Project Launch

This project began after signing a contract with the MTS transport authority in summer 2019. Engineers assembled the rolling stock at the Sacramento plant in California.

Benefits and Production

New trams replaced outdated high-floor SD100 models in the city’s transport system. Siemens designed and produced those earlier models between 1993 and 1995.

Updating the transport fleet will significantly enhance ride quality and accessibility for passengers. Because S700 models cater specifically to people with limited mobility.

The MTS contract marked a key step in advancing San Diego’s transport network. And now residents enjoy more reliable and comfortable trams daily.

Production in Sacramento showcases Siemens Mobility’s advanced technology and engineering solutions. Thus, new models reduce noise and save energy during operation.

San Diego actively upgrades its transport system, with new trams playing a central role. After all, modernization boosts the city’s appeal for tourists and locals alike.

Completing the delivery strengthens Siemens Mobility’s position in North America’s transport market. The company keeps innovating and improving urban mobility solutions.

Low-Floor Trams San Diego: Environmental Impact

S700 trams offer high reliability, making them popular in major cities worldwide. Moreover, they meet strict environmental standards and safety requirements.

The MTS authority praised its collaboration with Siemens Mobility on this project. Because new trams already transport passengers and earn positive feedback.

San Diego residents welcome the arrival of modern trams on their city streets. And now transport is more convenient, fast, and suited to their needs.

Siemens Mobility aims to expand partnerships with U.S. cities to enhance infrastructure. Thus, success in San Diego paves the way for future contracts.

Updated trams will ease road congestion and cut carbon dioxide emissions. After all, eco-friendliness remains a priority for modern metropolitan transport systems.

The San Diego project proves the effectiveness of Siemens Mobility’s work with local authorities. The company will leverage this experience in other regions for transport development.
